WATCH: ‘Persona 5’ English Gameplay Presentation Live Stream

Update: Persona 5 has been delayed from February 14, 2017 and will now launch on April 4, 2017 in the Americas and Europe. You can check out the archived live stream footage down below.

For those of us who’ve been waiting on the 2017 launch of Persona 5, watching everyone in Japan enjoy it stings so much.

We’ve had to fight the urge to cop an import copy and try not to spoil ourselves by watching too much Japanese gameplay. Atlus’ USA arm wants to throw us a bone in live stream form. American fans who’re very much looking forward to Persona 5 will want to make sure their in front of their laptops for this one. The official press statement for this English gameplay demonstration has been released, so check it out below:

We’re the Phantom Thieves of Hearts and we’re back to leak some more juicy Persona 5 news! We’ve successfully forced Atlus to finally show the first English gameplay of Persona 5, and they’re going to debut it at their “Let Us Start the Game” live stream event on November 16. We’re warning them to make it the biggest live stream they’ve ever done, so expect special guest, giveaways, and the latest Persona 5 news.

On top of new gameplay, there should be even more surprises in store for fans. Hopefully we get some more commentary on the game’s plot, characters, relationship building, battle system etc. from the game’s producer/director. We’ve got the live stream video feed right here for you all to see, so stay tuned.
